Bar & burger joint offering lots of options bearing half-pound, never-squished patties.
"Serving up burgers since 1992, this classic Somerville spot goes through hundreds of pounds of burgers per week, according to a 2015 interview with owner Richard Sullivan. The restaurant is known for its tall half-pound, definitely unsquished patties." - Erika Adams, Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle
"From 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 26, classic Somerville pub R. F. O’Sullivan & Son will host “green witch” Veronica Keddy to perform first-come, first-served readings of different lengths, prices, and tools — tarot cards, naturally, but also a pendulum, chicken feet, or teeth. At the same time, bar is offering a grisly food challenge: Finish five of the famously tall half-pound burgers, onion rings, French fries, and pickle spears to get your meal and a t-shirt free and your picture on a Hall of Fame board." - Adam H. Callaghan
"Maybe you don’t expect to find a great burger at an Irish pub across the street from a parking lot, but the gods of Irish pubs work in drunken, mysterious ways. This place has a ton of different burgers, but they’re all made with giant, baseball-sized patties on a sesame seed bun that somehow holds it together. The house burger comes with a slice of ham and bacon on top of a nicely seasoned patty that’s ridiculously juicy." - dan secatore
"RF O’Sullivan is a classic Irish pub. Boston has a lot of those, but what sets this one apart is the burger selection. It has a ton of them, and all of them are made with enormous baseball-sized patties that are well-seasoned and perfectly cooked. Start with the house burger topped with ham and bacon if you don’t know where to start, but there’s enough variety here to find something you like." - Dan Secatore
"If you’re smart, you’ll go to RF O’Sullivan’s on a day when it’s raining. That way, you’ll already be wearing something to protect your shirt from the geysers of juice that spill out of the giant, perfectly cooked patties. There are over 30 different kinds of burgers here, they’re all huge, they’re all cooked to order, and they’re all served on a bun that basically turns into a sesame seed sponge by the time you finish. Grab a beer, watch the game, and enjoy what is essentially the platonic ideal of a pub burger." - dan secatore
